Kiwoom Heroes left fielder Lee Hyung-jong intercepted LG Twins foreign hitter Austin Dean's 12th home run of the season. And he immediately hit a matriarch's home run.
Lee Hyung-jong started as a seventh-left fielder in an away game against LG in Jamsil on the 13th, and showed a super catch by jumping Austin's two-run homerun to the left in the bottom of the fourth inning with two outs and a runner on first base, trailing 0-6.
Austin, who hit a solo shot to left in the bottom of the first inning, hit another big hit from Kiwoom starter Cho Young-gun in the bottom of the fourth inning. In 1S, when the second 118km curve came to the strike zone on the body, he hit hard as if he was waiting and flew toward the left fence with a home run.
At this time, left fielder Lee Hyung-jong quickly identified the drop point and went in front of the fence and succeeded in catching the ball slightly over the fence by jumping in time. The spectators who came to catch the ball looked despondent, and Lee Hyung-jong, who fell down after jumping, confirmed that he took the ball out of his glove and put it out.
At that time, LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop asked for a video review, which rather prompted fans to applaud.
The electronic display at Jamsil Stadium showed Lee Hyung-jong catching Austin's ball. It was natural that Kiwoom's third-base fans cheered and applauded, but LG fans on the first base did not cheer, but applauded Lee Hyung-jong's super play.
And Lee Hyung-jong, who was the leadoff hitter in the top of the fifth inning, hit the first pitch of LG starter Yoni Chirinos and hit a solo shot slightly over the right fence.
The 146.8km pitch came to the low strike zone outside, and he hit it well and LG right fielder Hong Chang-ki chased him and soon gave up.
He marked his first home run of the season with a solo shot. Kiwoom followed two points later to make it 3-6.
Lee Hyung-jong graduated from Seoul High School and joined LG in 2008 as the first nominee. Lee Hyung-jong, who played as a pitcher, once retired, but after returning, he turned into a batter and played as an outfielder until 2022. Through the Futures FA system, he moved to Kiwoom with a total of 2 billion won in jackpot contracts for four years.
